Document Summary

Notes: will post sample mcqs before exams, know major points of articles. Can one build a comprehensive model of sexuality? (ultimate goal: guide our research. Sexual health: sexual health is a state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being related to sexuality; it is not merely the absence of disease, dysfunction or infirmity. Sexual health requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence. For sexual health to be attained and maintained, the sexual rights of all persons must be respected, protected, and fulfilled: more of a political statement and not a scientific definition. Other topics that should be in the course: decades of how the views of sexuality have evolved. Barely anything new in regards to sexology: problems, what people actually did, mostly written by males, psychology students hate history. Pre-columbian from peru: example of anal intercourse.
